Hypothetically, would you be willing to trade for James Harden if we don't have to give up Dame?

    I'm looking for the data that compares Dame and Nurk with the ball in their hand, which I believe was the statement.

    I agree our offense is better when he is in vs other centers on our roster. I like Nurk, a lot. Not as much as Dame. Dame has 10 eye balls on him at all times when he has the ball, he moves defenses better than anyone on our roster, it's not close.

    What about Nurk vs CJ?

    What the Rockets did if he doesn't start passing and playing team ball.

    I saw one time where Jones harrassed LeBron the whole way down the court but never touched him. Fucking Lebron whined like a little bitch
    afterward to the refs.

    Overall I thought the officiating was good after the first quarter. (other than the kicked ball that resulted in a TO and a 4 point play)
    But I liked how they let them play. 16 fouls vs 14......for the whole game

    Good question. Nurk catching the ball wide open after Dame/CJ come off a screen I much prefer over CJ. Overall, I'd probably lean Nurk, even though he can't create for himself that well, he looks for other much better.

    What do you think?

    Unless there’s an injury, Melo shouldn’t be playing. I’d sit him but if he starts to pout cut him loose.

    still think there's a role for him. i genuinely would consider starting him in each half for 7 mpg and seeing if he's hot. Run him 0 isos-- only use him as a wing catch and shoot guy. No more than that though. Roco and/or DJ have to be on the floor at all times.

    Carmelo's going to want to be in at the end of games.

    The stretching Gary was doing was due to cramps per Stotts.

    Yeah I like Nurk having the ball over CJ most of the time. Gives the defense a different look and gets everyone moving and potentially involved.

    If Stotts is getting testy with the softest media in the NBA, what would happen in another city?
